ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus for the loading of pallets with tiers of cartons. The apparatus of the present invention utilizes three star wheels, one to divide a feed line or single file of cartons into two rows and a pair of star wheels rotatable about axes normal to the path of the cartons in the two rows for varying the position of cartons on conveyors forming the tiers. The tiers, after being formed, are stacked on a pallet. The pallets are supported on an elevator to be lowered from the tier-forming station. New pallets are introduced at the tier-forming station while a loaded pallet is being discharged from the palletizing machine. The machine which forms the tiers is in an elevated position and each tier is formed in the tier-forming station by cartons fed from each side of the tier. The tier-forming station is at one end of the machine and an elevator lowers the pallet as it is loaded with successive tiers which provides a machine capable of substantially increasing the rate at which cartons capable of substantially increasing the rate at which cartons can be handled. The tiers, as they are formed, are pushed from a stationary plate onto a moving plate which carries the cartons of the tier over the pallet and the movable plate is then retracted from beneath the tier placing it on the pallet or previously deposited tier.
